I just feel the 991.1 GTS is arguably the finest sports car for the road ever made. 430 natural horses, good ride, just modern enough etc. The two criticisms are a) that sort vague 991.1 steering and b) 991 was where the 911 started to look big.
I've driven all of the "modern" generation 911's (997, 991, 992). They are all quite different, I agree (biggest difference between the 997 and 992). I liked all of them for different reasons, so that's why I'm open to finding something in any of those generations that fits my budget and needs. There's also the possibility of ordering a 992.2 and just waiting the mental lead time, but also know that I'm the first and hopefully only owner. We'll see.
